What ๐ฅฎ means
A round, pressed pastry with a pattern on top: a moon cake. It is tied to the Mid-Autumn Festival, when families share moon cakes and look at the full moon.
Festival greetings pair it with ๐ and ๐ฎ. People also post it for gifts of moon cakes, with fillings like lotus seed paste, red bean or salted egg yolk.
Outside the festival, it can just mean a fancy Chinese pastry.
